Mrs. Coulter’s relationship with her daemon facinates me. She hits him, doesn’t let him speak, doesn’t let him comfort her, and is able to be physically distant from him (seeming) without pain. All of this is essentially self-harm. We don’t even know his name. Other characters introduce their daemons or address them by name, but not Mrs. Coulter. How she treats her daemon tells so much about how she feels about herself and what she is willing to do to be the person she thinks she needs to be.

I love all the small details and mannerisms Ruth is adding where you can just physically see why Mrs Coulters daemon is a monkey

I want to talk about this scene.
Against her better judgement, Lyra wants desperately to believe that Mrs Coulter really is the nice, kind woman who thought her to be extraordinary. That the woman hurting her right now isn’t really her.
This, we know, isn’t true. But the thing is, Lyra is right. Just in a different way than intended.
Marisa Coulter wants to be in control at all times.
“She’s constructed this version of herself which is glamourous, and graceful and in control. But actually there’s a side of her she has suppressed which is much more free, and feral in a way.” - Ruth Wilson

The cry was torn from Lord Asriel, and with the snow leopard beside her, with a roaring in her ears, Lyra’s mother stood and found her footing and leapt with all her heart, to hurl herself against the angel and her daemon and her dying lover, and seize those beating wings, and bear them all down together into the abyss.
